Breaking :warning:

React Hook Forms v6

This release upgrades to v6 of React Hook Forms, which has breaking changes. The Redwood Forms package is not affected. However, if your project has custom implementations of React Hook Forms, you may need to follow the upgrade instructions in the React Hook Forms v6 Release Notes.

Redwood Forms as a standalone package

We’ve removed @redwoodjs/forms from @redwoodjs/web to reduce the web bundle size for projects not using forms. If you are using forms, then complete these two steps:

  1. Add @redwoodjs/forms as a dependency in <app>/web/package.json .
  • yarn workspace web add @redwoodjs/forms
  1. Change any “Forms” related imports from @redwoodjs/web to be from @redwoodjs/forms
  • Search your project for @redwoodjs/web
  • Check for instances of imports like import { Form .. }
  • For all cases importing Form related elements from @redwoodjs/web , change web to forms .
  • Example: change import { Form, FormError } from '@redwoodjs/web' to import { Form, FormError } from '@redwoodjs/forms'

How to upgrade Redwood to v0.17.0

:point_right: IMPORTANT: Skipping versions when upgrading is not recommended and will likely cause problems. Do read through all Release Notes between your current version and this latest version. Each minor release will likely require you to implement breaking change fixes and apply manual code modifications.

Manual Code Modifications

  1. New TypeScript support requires adding .redwood to .gitignore file.

  2. Add @redwoodjs/forms as a standalone package in web/package.json .

    • See “Breaking” section above for instructions.

  3. Prisma deprecated syntax for the disconnect method from disconnect() to $disconnect()

    • update you project accordingly for specific use
    • for updates to the existing api/prisma/seeds.js file, see required code modification here

Upgrade Packages

Run the following command within your App directory:

yarn rw upgrade

To run the upgrade command, your project must be using v0.6.0 or greater. See this forum topic for manual upgrade instructions and general upgrade help.

And, not to be forgotten, the even newer v0.17.2 including a fix to the deploy generator. :wink:

(OP updated accordingly.)

Not sure that’s a very safe patch :-\ I upgraded to latest and suddenly a simple .findOne() stopped working:

 |   Failed to validate the query `Error occurred during query validation & transformation:
api | Query (object)
api |   ↳ findManyOrder (field)
api |     ↳ where (argument)
api |       ↳ OrderWhereInput (object)
api |         ↳ restaurantId (field)
api |           ↳ Value types mismatch. Have: Object({"equals": Int(1)}), want: Scalar(Int)` at `.Query.findManyOrder.where.OrderWhereInput.restaurantId`

I’m investigating before making a topic out of it, but just so you know… might be some troubles around this one :).
